FOSTERING RECONCILIATION

Three Rotary Club of Waterdown members Garry Flood (left), Sue Collins (middle) and Brenda Jefferies show some of the 12 books by indigenous authors that the club purchased to raise awareness of impacts of the residential school systems. The books were placed in the Little Free Rotary Library just outside the Club’s meeting center - marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 
 
The club asked people to borrow the book, then initial it and return to the Little Free Rotary Library for others to enjoy.

SHORT STORY TALENTS

Brenda Jefferies is not only a busy Rotarian with her Community Service Committee, she is an author of short stories!  A well kept secret among the Rotary Club of Waterdown, its members were pleasantly surprised to read about her authoring in their local paper.  She was very pleased to find a copy of the book in a small and local retailer called Walmart!  The club is very, very proud of her accomplishment.
